Hi,
it is certainly possible, and you do not need a SAN.
First you need a host that can handle the throughput. You need good disk storage and
good network connectivity. I certainly don't backup as mush data as some people, but
rate at which I do is pretty good. Ex:

This is over an SP Switch direct to tape. Granted my file size is generally large - it
is a Sybase database, but it is the configuration of the TSM environment that will
decide how fast things will go.
Again, this is certainly possible as long as your company can afford the money to buy
good hardware and the time to manage, analyze and make changes.

Hi,
what is your opinion about backing up or restoring 300GB data with TSM
within 12 hours from one client? Possible or not? Do I have to use a SAN
that I get acceptable transfer rates? If there is anybody out there who
backs up such a big amount of data:
How is your "TSM"-area constructed? (e.g. Server-type, LAN, SAN ...)
